Street scenes Aston, 2001 and approx 1920

Above, the old village street with houses centuries old. Below,
one of the new housing estates (this one is 1960s/1970s) that
filled in the gaps between the old villages of Swallownest, Aston,
and Aughton. Until 1930 Aston and Aughton were separate
villages.

The 14th century church tower can be seen on the horizion to the
left. Before the 1970s this was open fields with grazing for
cattle.
